Having just written a popular article on the History of Harleys and
Indians, I think that the actual most prevalent myth is that bikers ARE
outlaws and criminals. In reality, bikers are exactly like us. Yes,
there are RUBs (Rich Urban Bikers), yes there are criminals, yes there
are gardeners and plumbers. The average Harley owner is the average
American citizen. But many charity runs, like the one in LA for Muscular
Dystrophy, which occurs every year, are full of movie stars and RUBS, so
people may see this on TV and get that idea.
